{Below are some fun holiday images I took while checking out holiday lights in a festive Kaneohe neighborhood. I think the 'Island Style' tree ornaments has to have been the most unusual decoration I saw that night. Instead of milk and cookies I wonder if they will be leaving Santa a Budlight and sashimi? ;oD }

I recently met up with the Miyasato's for a family portrait session, and one of the highlights was photographing their adorable daughter, "E". "E" is way less than a year old and already she has lots of cute attitude. All I can say is "watch out" future boyfriends as I'm sure she will have you wrapped around her little finger. ;o)

With winter being our "wet season" here in Hawaii, we were blessed with some great weather and lighting. That along with Traci and Corey's easy going attitude made for what I think are some great memories. Happy Holidays & Merry First Christmas with "E"!

It is hard to believe that there are only about 2 weeks left in 2009! It's that time of year where everyone is busy sharing time with loved ones near and far, and of course doing some holiday shopping as well. It is also that time of the year for the holiday portrait session rush. Thus I am looking forward to sharing a few of these sessions with you over the next couple of weeks!

Jackie contacted me a couple of months ago about photographing her family, and I was very flattered that she had been wanting to book me for a while. I'm very very glad that she finally did because I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her and her family! Her daughter is as cute as can be - I'm sure dad is going to be a busy guy screening all her suitors when she grows up. ;O)

It was a very close round of voting...but after all the votes were tallied Entry #6 came out ahead and is the winner of the canvas gallery wrap. Congrats to the Santos family!

And Annie-belle and her sister, Laurie Lei, want to thank everyone who left a comment for their fundraiser - they donated $35 to the Scottie Kingdom Rescue to help fellow Scotties find their forever home.
